    Not sure why I worry about the #### tests. It's not like I will have any problems passing since the last time I smoked was hmmmm like 20 years ago. Although every time I go in for a random I thi9nk what if some ####### screws up the test. Is it just me or does anyone else ever think that a lab can screw up? Leaving us trying to prove we are clean.

    Not sure either why you worry if that did happen where someone slipped up you could always request another test.

    No setup I am as clean as they come only drugs I do is the occasional aspirin. Guess you could call it paranoid, I'm sure it will be just fine. This is the 3rd random I've had in the last 5 years and every time I just wonder.

    Leftover paranoia from the weed.

    No all that uncommon.

    Huge # of screw ups have been exposed in hair follicle tests in Ontario. These were not for driving but for legal issues. People lost custody of their children through these faulty tests....big effin' mess!
    So ya...STRESS ON!

    A lot of times they try to have you initial the little specimen stickers before they affix them to the vial samples. Another trick they like to use is when you bring the cup full of urine out, they say set it down and go wash your hands so you just took your eyes off the prize and they switcharoo your cup and pour someone elses into your vials that you already signed off on. Never take your eyes off your cup, watch them pour it in and only then sign off on the vials with your initials knowing for sure it was your urine going into the vials.

    Never stress but I do wonder. Have always been clean. In the military I was the go to guy for drug screens because everyone knew I was clean. Been tested a minimum of once a year for the past 38 years. Last job there was no requesting a second sample. You were just guilty. Maybe get a lawyer after the fact but that would be a mess. Never know when somebody is having a really bad day while running samples. Thinking about the husband cheating or the wife divorcing you and forget to properly run the sample. That being said though I have never had an issue in all those years so maybe I should stop wondering.
